Almond Coconut Cookies

today I was in the kitchen looking for something sweet and tasty to munch on.  Of course I didn't find anything to satisfy my craving since all I have are an excess of veggies in the fridge and nuts in the pantry.   I decided to make something and began digging through my cupboards.  I love using almond flour in recipes as much as I love adding coconut.  The two flavors work well together and since these ingredients are what I have in stock, I figured I'd better make something out of them.

2 cups almond flour
1 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup coconut oil melted
1/4 cup coconut sugar
2 tsps almond extract
2 eggs
Shredded coconut
Stevia (optional if needed for additional sweetness)


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a cuisinart or other mixer.
Melt coconut oil and add to dry ingredients.  Add almond extract and eggs.   Mix until dough forms into a ball.   Roll dough into small balls then flatten them and place on greased cooking sheet.  Sprinkle cookies with coconut flakes.  Place in oven and cook for 10 minutes.
